Normal Weight Ranges
These weights are averages and may be an underestimate for athletic
individuals or overestimates for the elderly.
BMI or body composition measurements may be a better indicator of a healthy weight.
Please discuss any weight concerns with your physician.
To estimate your body frame, wrap the thumb and forefinger
of the nondominant hand around the wrist
of the dominant hand. If the thumb and forefinger
meet, the frame is medium; if the fingers do not meet,
the frame is large; and if they
overlap, the frame is small.
